In the category of good news… this is not!
I bet the government knows alot more than we’d probably like to know, for national morale and economic sake. Imagine those retarded speculator markets driving up the price of oil 25% in a day if a rumor got traction that it was a foreign missile.
Damn drug cartels.
Baffled? I guess the response will tell us if it was our own or not. You would think there would be a pretty quick reaction and the military/coast guard would have lots of ships in the area if it were not our own sub launching a missile 35 miles off our coast.
So I guess they wont say where it went. I’m sure if its “sizable” it should have shown on Radar or at least other aircraft would have spotted it. Especially in the L.A. Area?
Maybe it just disappeared into thin air?
I’m waiting to see how they spin this. “Oh, it turned out to be an unusual contrail..” or some such thing.
Call of Duty Bravo OPS viral marketing.
#7 is probably the best guess.
Here’s video of the missile:

he said they had a picture of it and never showed it…
#9 – thanks for the clip. It was baffling to me how MSNBC could talk about it for 5 minutes without actually showing any video clip.
My guess is that a Navy missile frigate was doing a missile drill and a sailor stuck a live one in the tube by mistake. That sailor will probably get demoted, meanwhile the captain of the ship is desperately trying to fake the paperwork before he gets chained to a desk at a naval base in Nebraska.
They also claim to know nothing about the missile that took down TWA 800.
#18–chuck==I was gonna WAG it was the Chinese demonstrating their sea power and later to explain it was a mistake or they were in international waters ((isn’t that over 100 miles?–whatever)) but your guess is better than mine.
Nukes, whether warheads or power plants, and HUMAN ERROR—who could believe that could ever happen what with all the safeguards in place?
Ha, ha. Yeah, how many unsinkable boats have been built by now?

Lets hope it wasn’t hackers.
jbenson, interesting link. IMO the video nick posted shows a plume that looks convincingly vertical. I live under a popular flight route near Chicago, and have never seen a jet contrail like that.
A message to China?
Didn’t Obama order the retrofit of some ICBM’s with highly accurate conventional weapon payloads designed to take out important targets anywhere in the world in less than 30 minutes?

First, a failed missile defense drill. Meant to show that nobody could sneak up and shoot one, it ended up showing the reverse. In one story they said NORAD was aware of the launch and the Navy denied it was them.
Second, it was a red team test done off of a non-traditional platform to point out a security vulnerability. Maybe a modified upended shipping container on a container ship.
I wonder what happened to it. Sent to a firing range in the CA or NV desert?
Ha, ha. #21–Nicketc==Most Excellent, Thank You. I done been fooled again.
Some of the most convincing evidence is “eye witness” and almost impossible to overcome evidence is “personal experience.”
If I ever experience god or heaven myself, I hope I have enough brain cells left over to understand it was some kind of brain chemistry at work==and not reality.
Being totally fooled by this story puts me very much in touch with my fallibility and “personal witness.” I am but a Silly Hooman-groping in the dark. How do we know what we know, and how do we change our minds?
I suspect the US gov’t is lying about lack of knowledge.
Nork or Iran?
And aren’t we all glad this one either didn’t contain a nuclear EMP weapon or that it failed.
